Places in the Heart is a 1984 drama film which tells the story of a Southern widow who tries to keep her farm together with the help of a blind man and an African-American man. It stars Sally Field, Lindsay Crouse, Ed Harris, Amy Madigan, John Malkovich and Danny Glover.

The movie was written and directed by Robert Benton, and filmed in the Dallas, Texas area, more precisely in Waxahachie, Texas.

It won Academy Awards for Best Actress in a Leading Role (Sally Field) and Best Writing, Screenplay Written Directly for the Screen. It was nominated for Best Actor in a Supporting Role (John Malkovich), Best Actress in a Supporting Role (Lindsay Crouse), Best Costume Design, Best Director and Best Picture.

In 1985 when Sally Field reached the podium to accept her second Oscar (the first was for Norma Rae), she uttered the memorable, much-mocked line, "I can't deny the fact that you like me, right now, you like me!" It is often misremembered as, "You like me, you really like me!"
